Using an AI news anchor sounds a bit wrong at first, but basically it’s just another talking head— which is what most news anchors have become now. So I doubt the human anchors will genuinely be missed.

That’s scary. No hope of ever resting in peace for a Mesopotamian ghost. Total bummer. And it gives new meaning to the term ‘living dead.’

The Godyssey Podcast @godysseypodcast.com · 5d

Being a ghost in Mesopotamia was unfortunately an extension of living in the most uninspired ways: in addition to gaining the memories and appearance of the living at death, the rulers of the Underworld assigned ghosts jobs, which they toiled at for eternity. #FolkloreSunday

A piece of ancient Mesopotamian carvings, showing a man being led by the wrists after a priest. It is believed this could be an attendant of Kur, the Underworld, leading a man to his eternal torment doing a job, but that is not the only interpretation of what is obviously a prisoner.

It’s gross how people romanticize mental health issues. There’s nothing cool about needing to take antidepressants.

It’s cool that astronomers finally have better technology to further understand black holes. And knowing more about black holes does quell my fears a bit regarding them. The possibility of being pulled into a sensorial obliviousness of infinitely dense matter doesn’t seem too terrifying now.

New Scientist @newscientist.com · 5d

According to the equations that govern black holes, the larger one of these cosmic behemoths is the lower its average density – given that the universe contains a lot of relatively empty space, could the whole cosmos be a black hole?

Is the universe really one big black hole?

Coded clothing for cowards with a crooked conscience and a penchant for cruelty. That’s fascist fashion. And no matter how people try to makeover bigotry its ugliness remains the same. Evil is ugly, bigots are evil.

Guardian US @us.theguardian.com · 5d

Fascism is back in style.

Forget the old symbols: swastikas, nooses, Confederate flags, skinheads’ shaved heads and combat boots. Extremism has a new look, and it is as fashionable as ever.

Neat. Plus it’s also the plot of many psychological, paranormal, and science fiction thrillers.

It sounds like a horror story.

Capgras delusion is a real but rare psychiatric syndrome in which a person believes a loved one has been replaced by an identical impostor. First described in 1923, it is linked to psychosis, dementia, and brain injuries.

Text says: Capgras delusion is the belief that a loved one has been replaced by an identical impostor. The rare condition highlights how our brains connect facial recognition to emotional familiarity.

Oh no. Not DOCTOR Wendy Osefo and Happy Hubby Eddie. Lol I’ll never understand why these housewives are willing to risk it all just to keep up silly pretenses for social media and Bravo. RHOP isn’t even worth watching like that.

Idk what the pancake waffle debate is about, but I subscribed to the labeler and it said I was a ‘Pancake.’ So I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.

I have so many words and hashtags muted to the point of finally achieving an algorithmic zen of total unawareness. It’s very nice.

Cool. So basically our zeitgeist is digital. And just like a physical footprint in the sand, the currents of time can wash it away or harden it into a deeply embedded imprint for future generations to rediscover.

But I wonder what will be deemed worthy of digging up versus what will be left buried.

What will future historians know about the 21st century?

You might imagine they will study our every meme and have unprecedented insight into our thoughts because of digital media. But our information is surprisingly fragile. 🧵⬇️ (1/5)

BBC Microcomputer connected to a LaserDisc player, used for interactive video-based learning in the 1980s. Text says: Today’s files may be tomorrow’s mysteries. This is the problem of the digital dark age: We think of our society's wealth of electronic information as existing "forever", but it might be more fragile than paper.

Why is Halloween so popular with adults?

Shifting ideas about what it means to be “grown-up” may be part of the answer.

Idk what ppl are expecting from celebs since they aren’t impacted by what’s happening to America. Celebs are rich so they don’t care about fascism since it doesn’t affect them. Colbert & Kimmel lost their job but they’re millionaires. They’ll be fine. And Fallon is only focused on his income too.
